Anytime I say anything competitive or in even the smallest defense 
about one of my products or projects, certain people claim that we're 
fighting, as if fighting only starts when I open MY mouth, but it's 
ok for the trio to each put up unstudied comparison charts and so 
forth, talk down about parts that my stuff uses, claim that their 
stuff is the only standard, in the past, and in the future.  If I 
were to put up the same chart first and claim that my stuff is the 
standard, I'd have 3 dudes all over my ass and you know it.   When 
does this stuff become fair, anyway?  3 or 4 on 1.  Does it really 
take that many to compete?  Sure it does.   I'm not even trying all 
that hard to compete.  If I were, they'd be in real trouble. :)

And I'm not against Cloud-9.  I just don't think I should quit what 
I'm doing just so they can be the only ones.  I love the CoCo too 
much and I know too many CoCo users and have a very large customer 
base to offer stuff to.  I'm in this.

But I'm not far away from leaving the mailing list since most of my 
stuff goes ignored, and when I do talk, it gets viewed as a 
fight.  I'm just tired of it.

www.colorcomputer.net  is in the works.. a CoCo classifieds site 
where you can list your old or New stuff.  It's only a buy/sell site 
and the most I will have to do is delete spam and review false ad 
claims.  There is no forum, no archives, no chat, no galleries, no 
videos, no news, no bulletins, etc.  I won't do another coco3.com or 
community base site and I also have a no compete agreement.
